CNNs for Particle ID in 3D Detector Images

Recently, I've been building models using 3D CNNs to classify images of LHC detectors​. This could revolutionize the way High Energy Physicists process their detector data.

Scaling Simulations to Millions of Parallel Threads

Proton Collision Simulation for the LHC

In 2014-2016, I scaled simulations of proton collisions to 1.5 million parallel processes on the Mira supercomputer providing all the vector boson background samples for the ATLAS experiment with Run-2 statistics.

Software Design

Edge Service for Supercomputers

In 2014-2015, I wrote an edge service that submitted hundreds of jobs to the Mira supercomputer at Argonne's Leadership Computing Facility producing over 250 billion simulated proton collision events for the ATLAS experiment.

Hardware Installation

ATLAS L1Calo Trigger

In 2007, I installed the ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger electronics. I also calibrated, operated, and maintained the system through 2013.
